Abstract

We discuss questions related to renormalization group and to nonperturbative aspects of non-Abelian gauge theories with N=2 and/or N=1 supersymmetry. Results on perturbative and nonperturbative β\beta functions of these theories are reviewed, and new mechanisms of confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking recently found in a class of SU(nc)SU(n_c), USp(2nc)USp(2n_c) and SO(nc)SO(n_c) theories are discussed.
